AUBURN, Alabama – Auburn freshman quarterback Jonathan Wallace made his college debut, freshman offensive lineman Patrick Miller made his first college start and freshman cornerback Joshua Holsey saw extensive time on defense for the first time on defense in last Saturday's game against LSU.

"Guys are working themselves into a role," said coach Gene Chizik after Wednesday's practice. "We don't care if it's a true freshman or a junior or a senior. If these guys continue to improve and their production is up, they're going to see the field."

Chizik hits on practice and players in this video as Auburn works through its off week.

We looked at the freshmen and others who have made their Auburn debuts in a story earlier Wednesday.

On Miller, Chizik said, "For his first game ever starting against LSU, did a really, really nice job. He tried to play physical. He's got room for improvement -- like our whole team does.

"Right now, he's our starting right tackle."

•Chizik said Auburn was ready for its first practice of the week Wednesday.

"The kids were very energetic. It was a very lively practice. It was a very physical practice," Chizik said. "We're just trying to physically heal up a little bit, which is good."
